From multimode radar to the network-centric battlefield, mission success depends on the performance of electronic systems for detection, interception, encryption, dissemination, communications, and interdiction.

Surveillance, identification, targeting, control, intelligence gathering, and self- protection systems are becoming ever more complex and integrated. With the rapid advances across the entire spectrum of radar and electronic warfare technology, the capabilities of test and measurement systems must be continuously enhanced. Rohde & Schwarz solutions are at the leading edge of performance, capability, and ease of use.

This application note explains how to generate phase coherent signals, details what to consider and how to best calibrate the relative phases and timing between the individual channels. This document also presents various measurements of the phase stability over time for different RF frequencies.

This application note presents a solution for testing the complete radar system by generating any kind of radar echo signals with arbitrary range, Doppler frequency and RCS. The Radar Echo Generator makes it possible to perform real time tests on many applications including aerospace & defense and commercial radar systems.

This White Paper provides a more detailed view on radar waveforms for A&D and commercial radar systems. Waveforms such as pulse and pulse-Doppler signal, CW and FSK waveforms are described. It also shows continuous waveform trends designed for specific needs and application differences of CW radar compared to pulse radar systems.

Armed forces need their own highly secure communications equipment to succeed in their missions and safeguard national sovereignty. For decades, Rohde & Schwarz has supplied ground, air and naval forces throughout the world with innovative intelligence and communications systems.

Civil aviation and military operations alike depend on accurate distance, location, and direction measuring systems for public safety and military mission success. VOR, ILS, DME and GPS/Galileo electronic systems are just a few of the areas that require unique test and measurement capabilities. With demonstrated experience in this field, Rohde & Schwarz provides accurate, flexible, high-performance test solutions to cover every need, from design, development, and production to operational maintenance.

This application note highlights various aeronautical radio navigation signals such as VHF omnidirectional radio range (VOR), instrument landing system (ILS) for glide slope (GS) and localizer (LLZ), as well as marker beacon (MB). R&S® test and measurement solutions for avionics navigation equipment are introduced based on application scenarios, including calibration, research and development, field tests and…

This application note explains how to perform automated receiver tests using the R&S®SMBV100A. The presented tests include TTFF, sensitivity, and location accuracy measurements, moving receiver and interference tests, and many more. Basic remote control examples are provided for the individual tests to ease programming.

The Vector Signal Generator and GNSS Simulator R&S®SMBV100A is remote-controllable in realtime and can therefore be implemented into a dynamic HIL environment. The HIL simulator can dictate position coordinates, kinetic parameters, and vehicle attitude information based upon which the R&S®SMBV100A updates the simulated receiver movement in realtime. This application note presents background information and details…
